Steve Spurrier disagrees with South Carolina LB’s position change

Barely an hour before South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier answered questions on his Thursday radio show, co-defensive coordinator Lorenzo Ward confirmed that the Gamecocks were moving linebacker Skai Moore to the weakside and replacing him in the middle with T.J. Holloman.

This was apparently news to the Head Ball Coach, who questioned whether his coaching staff should be moving Moore to another spot among the linebackers.

“Hopefully, we’re smart enough to leave him (at middle linebacker),” Spurrier said of Moore, according to David Caraviello of The Post and Courier.

Moore has logged 31 tackles and three interceptions through three games this year. The South Carolina defense has allowed an average of 30.3 points per game in that span, the worst mark in the SEC.

“Defensively, we’re ranked at the bottom of the conference in about every statistic,” Spurrier said, according to Matt Connolly of The State.
